ToaZZ whom/ it may concern;

Be it knownthat T, JOSEPH, W, BERRY- MAN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Grardena, in the county of Los Angeles and. State ofCalifornia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Saw-Handles; and I do' hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexactdescrip-h tion of the invention, such" as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a saw handle, and the primary object of theinvention is to provide asaw handle which is provided with a recessinteriorly thereof in which is positioned a bulb and a tube leadingoutwardly out of the lower edge of the handle, so that air passing out.of the tube will enter the kerf formed by the saw blade for thepurposeof blowing the saw dust therefrom.

A further object of this invention is to provide a pivotally mountedmember which engages a portion of the bulb for compressing the bulb forforcing air outwardly through the tube into the saw kerf;

With the foregoing and'other objects in view this invention consists insuch novel features of construction, combination and arrangement ofparts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustratedin theaccompanying drawings and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters designate like andcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1is a side elevation of the im-- ings, 1 designates the saw handle as anen-1 tirety, which is of the standard size and is made in halves, ofpressed or cast material,

such as metal, wood or fiber, which halves or sectlons are connected toeach other and to a saw blade 2 by the usual type of set screws ispositioned within the chamber 5 and it has a tube 8 connected thereto]which extends through the channel 6 and is provided for guiding air fromthe bulb .7 through the channel and out through the opening 6, into thekerf formed by the saw blades 2, during the operation of the saw. A bulbcompressing member 9 is pivotallyconnected as shown at 10 to the grip 4of the saw handle and it is concavo-convex, having a concaved recess 11for receiving a portion of the bulb 7 so that when the member 9 is movedinwardly by the fingers of the operator of the saw it will pressthe'bulb 7, for forcing air out of the bulb through the tube 8. Thelower end 12 of the member 9 has its. side edges curved, as clearlyshown in Fig. 4 of the drawing, and this curved end extends into thechamber 5 as shown at 14 in Fig. 1 of the drawing. The point 12extending into the chamber, prevents the outward pivotal movement of themember 9.

In reducing the invention to practice, certain minor features ofconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts may necessitatealterations to which the patentee is entitled provided such alterationsare comprehended Within the scope of what is claimed. What is claimedis:- t
